Efficient storage management method based on virtualization platform

Abstract

The invention relates to an efficient storage management method based on a virtualization platform. The method comprises the following steps: 1), taking over direct-connection disks on a server by a storage management virtual machine in the virtualization platform; 2) converging the direct-connection disks into a storage resource pool by the storage management virtual machine; 3) after establishing the storage resource pool, adding a solid hard disk into the storage resource pool, and starting a secondary caching function of the storage management virtual machine; 4), providing the storage resource pool to the virtualization platform, and establishing various virtualization application virtual machines on the virtualization platform; 5) performing back-up management on the storage management virtual machine according to a set cycle. Compared with the prior art, the efficient storage management method has the advantages of improving the data storage performance, simplifying the storage facility management and deployment, performing back-up, improving the safety of a storage management system and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computer storage, in particular to an efficient storage management method based on a virtualization platform. Background technique [0002] In a traditional virtualization environment, the physical disk directly connected to the server is provided to the virtualization platform in the form of a bare disk as the basic resource of the virtualization application. Due to the limitation of the virtualization platform itself, the physical disk cannot be aggregated into a storage resource pool. If To gather multiple disks into a storage resource pool, you need to use the hardware RAID function of the SAS / SATA HBA card. This function needs to be configured in a third-party configuration tool provided by the HBA card manufacturer. aggregated into a storage resource pool; [0003] In the actual virtualization application scenario, multiple application virtual machines will run on the virtualization platform. The e...

Problems solved by technology

Its purpose is to effectively solve the problem of system performance degradation caused by insufficient cache capacity without occupying limited device slots in the system and without increasing hardware costs. It solves the problem of insufficient hardware cache capacity; however, in virtualization applications, it also exists Insufficient cache resources, poor IO read and write performance, and high hardware performance requirements

[0005] In summary, the traditional method of using direct-connected disk resources on a virtualization platform obviously has inconvenience and defects in actual use, so it is necessary to improve it
